About

Meet Lisa Auricchio, LCSW

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being fully yourself—not judged or expected to have everything figured out.

My style is warm, authentic, and compassionate. I bring honesty, curiosity, and even humor into therapy because healing doesn't happen only through difficult conversations, it also happens through feeling safe, understood, and genuinely connected.

I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative process, rather than a place where you are being talked at or simply given a list of things you are supposed to do. We will work together to understand not only what you are struggling with, but also what may be underneath it—past experiences, patterns, beliefs, fears, or parts of yourself that have developed ways of protecting you.

My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore your experiences with compassion, better understand yourself, and begin healing in ways that feel meaningful and lasting.

My background.

I’m an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist with additional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 1) and extensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety disorders.

I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns and life experiences. Over the years, my work has become increasingly focused on trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, OCD, and dissociation, allowing me to develop a deeper understanding of how past experiences can continue to affect the way we feel, think, relate to others, and move through the world.

I believe learning never stops. I continue expanding my knowledge through ongoing education, consultation, and specialized training so that my work continues to grow alongside the needs of the people I work with. My goal is to bring both experience and current, evidence-based approaches into therapy while always remembering that every person—and every healing process—is different

Who I Work Best With.

I work with women who are tired of simply “getting by” and want to better understand themselves, their patterns, and what may be keeping them stuck. Women who are ready for deeper, meaningful healing, those wanting to better understand their patterns, feel more connected to themselves, and begin healing what they’ve been carrying for so long. 

While I work with individuals from all backgrounds, a core focus of my work is supporting women navigating the lasting impact of trauma, anxiety, relationships, self-worth, and life experiences that continue to affect how they feel and connect.

Finding the right therapist matters.

I hope to provide a space where you feel supported, challenged when appropriate, and accepted exactly as you are.
